<p>Okay, it sounds like the rolling method is the most popular and works best. Who wants to let me videotape your method? I'll sweeten the deal...there's a free Po Campo wallet in it for you. Kind of looks like this photo, but with black elastic instead of orange bungee. I can meet you Sunday afternoon or any time Monday. Anyone?…</p>

<p>I commute often. The method that works best for me is to fold each piece of clothing lengthwise so that it is less than the width of my panier or bag. Then I carefully roll each item and place in my bag. Pressed slacks, shirts, ties, sport / suit coat,.... all come out with no wrinkles. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
